Rose Sanderson

Rose’s work is greatly influenced by the things that are generally disregarded in the world around her. She explores the fields of natural history, entomology and anatomy to find strange objects and creatures. Where some may see ugliness, be disgusted or think a thing distasteful, Rose finds beauty and intrigue. Art and Science go hand in hand, with nature’s creations in all their glory being her main source of inspiration. Her paintings aim to invite people to explore beyond their first impressions and delve deeper into the heart of nature. Rose’s delicate yet expressive paintings and drawings upon recycled materials and old book covers relate to the subject as part of a story within the wider world into which it is born; the cycle of life being a fascinating and intriguing part of our existence, of which Rose aims to explore in detail. Currently living in and travelling America by road and sea, Rose is experimenting with new projects inspired by her new environment and experiences.
